Premises Liability and Safety Concerns Lead to UNT’s Bee Eradication

As incredible as it sounds, for the better part of two decades the University of North Texas campus has been home to more than 3,000,000 bees. Living in colonies in a brick wall of the school’s Radio, TV and Film building, the bees – some of which have become aggressive in recent years – threatened thousands of students who walked on nearby sidewalks. For people allergic to bees, a sting can be a serious medical issue.

The legal concept of premise liability makes the owner of a property – such as the University of North Texas – responsible for any harm that befalls guests on the property. In the case of North Texas’s 3 million bees, anyone injured by bee stings probably would have a viable legal claim against UNT and its decision to host the injury-causing insects.
